I downloaded this a couple of weeks ago and Mr Brainlove summed it up perfectly. It's odd, they pulled it off the screen when Sylvester McCoy was Doctor and they said it was amateur and daft, but this episode was a million times worse. The belching dustbin was the nadir of the entire episode.

Having never seen the originals, I can't actually compare this to them but I was actually very impressed. Anyone who expected it to be uber serious or full of complicated plot lines was bound to be dissapointed, you had to see it for what it was, a bit of fun. It was very enjoyable but silly, like a James Bond film and that dustbin was great. Also did anyone find it hilarious when that guy said something like "wherever the doctor goes he has one companion, DEATH!"

It just seems a bit too stupid. Many pundits predicted that it'd be more Buffy The Vampire Slayer than Star Trek: The Next Generation in terms of serious content but Buffy wasn't quite so daft. Why can't there be a British sci-fi show that is more serious, isn't there enough shite for kids out there already? I want my techy jargon, the kids can have fuckin' Hollyoaks.

Fuck serious. Doctor Who has never been about serious. It's about anti-seriousness. The only serious ones are the baddies, and they die. The Doctor and his assortment of totty flit around trying to make the universe a more fun place. Serious isn't fun.
